NEUROTOXINS
At Chambers Aesthetics, we specialize in age-defying treatments. Neurotoxins, we carry Botox and Dysport, are a highly effective solution for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By targeting the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, neurotoxins help to smooth and soften facial lines, resulting in a naturally refreshed and youthful look.
HOW NEUROTOXINS WORK
Neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles in the treated area. This relaxation of the muscles prevents them from contracting, which in turn smooths out the overlying skin. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, often referred to as a "lunchtime treatment" due to its brief duration and minimal downtime.
POPULAR AREAS TO TREAT

​

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT
Your journey to a more youthful appearance begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced injector. We will assess your individual needs and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals. During the treatment, neurotoxin is precisely injected into the targeted areas using fine needles, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
PREPARING FOR YOUR TREATMENT
To ensure the best possible results and minimize the risk of complications, it's important to follow these pre-treatment guidelines:
​
Consultation: We will begin your neurotoxin appointment with a thorough consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. This will help us create a customized treatment plan for you.
​
Avoid Blood Thinners: For at least one week before your treatment, avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil, unless prescribed by your doctor. These can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding at the injection sites.
​
Refrain from Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours before your treatment, as it can also increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
​
Health Status: Ensure you are in good general health. If you have any active skin infections, cold sores, or other illnesses, reschedule your appointment until you have fully recovered.
POST TREATMENT GUIDELINES
IMMEDIATE CARE
​
Refrain from touching, pressing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 6 hours after the procedure. This helps to prevent infection and allows the neurotoxin to settle properly.
​
Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the treated areas for 10-15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and bruising. Wrap the ice pack in a clean cloth to avoid direct contact with the skin.
​
ACTIVITY RESTRICTIONS
​
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that cause excessive sweating for 24-48 hours after the treatment. These activities can increase swelling and the risk of bruising.
​
Refrain from consuming alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.
​
Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and extreme heat (such as saunas or hot tubs) for at least 48 hours. Use sunscreen to protect your skin if you need to go outdoors.
​
SKINCARE
​
Avoid applying makeup for at least 6 hours post-treatment. When you do apply makeup, ensure that your brushes and sponges are clean to prevent infection.
​
Use a gentle cleanser and avoid aggressive rubbing or scrubbing of the treated areas.​​
